update btw: approximately $1387 is the bill for the surgery and $320 per week i am in here. haha i wish i could go now, but this means that i am owing probably $2000 in total by the time i get the stitches out and i'm able to walk (carefully) without crutches. i know i can cover much of it but then i have the problem that i have to leave kazakhstan because of visa limitations (3rd of october i need to be on my way elsewhere). and i'm gonna come up short there. probably i have 2100. probably in 2 more weeks time i can pay that bill and be out of here but i need about $250 for a flight to georgia, plus ongoing funding for $60/month health insurance and about $20/day for living costs. i can't even go back to bishkek... i have to go forward somewhere else. georgia is the easiest for completely sorted out. so, i keep posting my ads, because i'm hoping someone out there needs something done and i can do it and make the extra ~$500 or so i need in the immediate term. i have an ongoing contract, which i haven't been working on enough but i will get to it, 100h/month racked up about 6 on that so far haha. anyway. i think there is other things coming in that might fill the gaps already but more is always welcome.
